What I've learned since my last blog post:

If your personal resources are low enough, it really can take 5 months to repair your computer. Ouch!

Art is seriously not a poor man's (woman's) sport. What the hell am I thinking?

I really, really want to compete on Dancing With The Stars! Now, if only I were a dancer -- or, a star...

What I've done since my last blog post:

Actually patched up the ongoing-domino-effect-disaster that is my computer. I feel like Dr. Frankenstein: "It's alive! Alive!"

*Contemplated life, health, regrets, and dreams.Never mind -- not ready to go there. Nothing good can come of it.

*Listened to music. Lots of music. Mostly: Chris Isaak, Rick Springfield, The Click Five and, oddly enough, The Zombies. Oh, and the soundtracks to the "28" movies (more on this, below).

*Checked out the new TV season. I might refuse to speak to you if you're not watching:

The Mentalist (CBS) -- Psychic? Prestidigitator? Crack investigator? I do know that that Simon Baker is the cutest man on TV. By that, I mean 'every-mother's-son, ruffle his hair, just adorable' cute. Just gotta love a man with a tortured past who is blatantly cuddly, charming, funny, and always the smartest person in the room.The weekly mysteries are decently twisty; the humor is suitably sly. Sublime!

Life on Mars (ABC) -- Struck unconscious in 2008, a police detective wakes up in 1973. Ah, the '70s, when real men wore wide collars and polyester shirts, and music came on giant vinyl discs. Those were the days!The sci-fi/supernatural elements of this show make it irresistible. Impressive cast, too!

Crusoe (NBC) -- An unexpected adventure/period piece/buddy show. Think 'Starsky and Hutch on a deserted island' (only, with a less-grumpy Hutch). Simply enjoyable stuff with two very likable, and very different, guys leaning on each other for survival and friendship -- like buddy shows used to be.

The Eleventh Hour (CBS) -- Science-based mystery series. Lousy first episode, but has been very good, since. Ignore any bad reviews that were based on the first ep. The show has definitely moved up and on.Mostly, I blank my mind and gaze, longingly, at the lovely, talented, and very mysterious Rufus Sewell. Later, of course, it's necessary to rewatch the episode to see what it was actually about. I offer no logical excuses for such hormone-driven behavior.

Both movies are a hundred percent better than my tongue-in-cheek synopses, and are two of my favorites. (Definitely NOT for the faint of heart!) Perhaps the best soundtracks since the original 'Star Wars'. Hold on a sec, I'm gonna load them up, right now!. . .. . .. . . Ahhh, that's better.

*In honor of the "28" movies (above), I'll be posting eye candy (aka 'W. J. artwork or product') every day for the next 28 days. Some posts will be pics only, and some will be pics + general yada yada.

Know my spotty blogging history and don't think I can do this? Well, I don't blame you, but allow me to prove you wrong. Check back, often, to see what's new!

The moon is definitely a guy. What else could be so uncommunicative, independent, and show you a different face nearly every day of the week -- while at the same time being mysterious, beautiful and irresistible?

The moon is, really, like every guy I've ever had a huge crush on! Which is both the good news and the bad...

Thrilled you like the new look -- you're the first to comment on it. Good thing I'm not the 'sensitive, needs-constant-approval' type. ;)

Hi there! Definately a huge WOW! So sorry I stayed away so long (long story) and missed all this great work, really love the new look, amazing colours and the photography additions. Good to see you again!

Digital art, still an exciting, new concept to some, is all about bringing creative ideas and imaginings to life, using a computer and printer instead of brushes and paints.

It’s as simple, and wonderful, as that.

I am . . .

a digital artist and photographer, creating with camera, PC, and printer instead of canvas, paint and brush. I’m intrigued by the unexpected and am always in hot pursuit of the Elusive “Wow!” Factor.

Thanks, in part, to the boundless marketing potential of the Internet, my art can be found in private collections, worldwide, and has been featured in “Frontiers in Neuroscience”, a quarterly scientific publication distributed to thousands of libraries, universities, top scientists and medical professionals, worldwide.
